What is a Cobra Reflex Bag?

A reflex is an automatic reaction triggered by your body in response to an action. Combat sport athletes require reflexes for enhanced defense and to counter their opponents' attacks. The Cobra reflex bag hones your fighting reflexes, speed, accuracy, and hand-eye coordination. Training with the bag also helps you improve your offensive and defensive capabilities, reaction speed, precision strike capability and responses in fights against strong and agile opponents.

The cobra reflex bag consists of a punching bag, a suction cup base and a connecting spring. The punching bag is at the top and is connected to the base through the spring. The base may be filled with water or sand to provide extra stability in ultra-high intensity training regimens. The bag is made durable and long lasting.

The bag is easy to assemble and disassemble and the entire process takes mere minutes. When disassembled, the bag takes less space, making it convenient for you to store it after use. It can be used in any space indoor and outdoor without the need to be attached to the wall or the ceiling unlike other punching bags. This makes the bag ideal for home, small sized gyms, makeshift training areas or fighting clubs.

How Does it Improve Reflexes?

Cobra reflex bag is ideal to train yourself as realistically as possible. The bag has a small target area and recoils quickly when punched. This makes landing a second strike a tough occurrence for the practitioner. Training to respond to such situations helps athletes enhance their reflexes in real fights.

Effective training with cobra reflex bags can improve precision punch striking capability, agility, hand-to-eye coordination, and faster reaction speed. All of which prepares a person to easily win real world scuffles and even competitive fights

Cobra bag's biggest contribution in improvement of reflexes is the recoil function. The recoil of the bag after every punch helps in developing precise second strike capability. Recoil function can also help in boosting target awareness, hand-to-eye coordination and reaction speed all of which are instrumental in a fight. Polishing those skills can decide fights early and in a few moves.

 Benefits of Cobra Reflex Bag

The cobra bag is specifically designed to train your reflexes and agility. Unlike many other punching bags, the reflex bag can be disassembled and reassembled, making it easily portable. The size of the bag can also be adjusted according to the height of the practitioner. The mechanism and functionality of the bag provides a plethora of benefits over other traditional punching bags.

Adjustable

The bag can be adjusted according to the corresponding height of the athlete. This helps during training as having the right size corresponding to the athlete's height provides a considerable advantage during training. Mismatched height of the bag and the athlete proves to be detrimental during training and produces results at a slower pace. The adjustable height feature allows the bag to be used by kids as well for their training in MMA, Muay Thai or boxing.

Practice Multiple Combat Sports

The bag can be used to practice various sports that use punching such as boxing, MMA and Muay Thai. The recoil of the bag proves very beneficial in honing precision strikes, offensive and defensive capabilities, reaction speed and rhythm. MMA and Muay Thai practitioners can also practice their kicks and elbows with the cobra reflex bag.

Developing Reflexes

The recoil provided by the adjustable spring allows athletes to constantly strike the bag in a rhythm. Timing the punches when the bag springs back helps the trainee develop striking reflexes, hand-to-eye coordination, reaction speed, accuracy and punching rhythm. To enhance defensive reflexes, athletes evade the bag by ducking and weaving from the bag as it rebounds.

Sturdy Base

Cobra bags are designed to be sturdy and unswayable. The bags have a heavy base which can be filled with sand or water if needed to ensure extra stability for long and intense training sessions. So there is no possibility that the bag will wobble during training.

Performing drills with the bag can help in weight loss while also helping in developing muscles, endurance, stamina and agility. It also helps in developing abs, strengthening core muscles, hardening arms as well as helping in overall shredding of the body. This helps the athlete to reach the pristine shape naturally without the need of heavy and cumbersome weights used in bodybuilding.

Realistic Training Sessions

The cobra reflex bag’s recoil feature makes training with it feel more realistic as recoil after punch pushes the bag away like a trained opponent and makes landing the second strike a tough proposition. This makes it very analogous to a real world match. Training with the cobra bag does not even require a training partner. 

Durable

The cobra reflex bag is made very durable and long lasting by incorporating industrial grade materials in production. This allows the bag to endure any weather and can be used both indoors and outdoors, in any habitable environment.

Double Punch Combo

Step Drag

The bag is beneficial towards developing footwork techniques such as step drag. The recoil will make the practitioner reposition himself to the target by using footwork techniques. Step drag is a basic technique and can be mastered easily by the use of a cobra reflex bag and having it in your skill tree can do wonders in the ring or a fight against a tall or stronger opponent.

Pivot

The bag recoil will allow the user to find the new angle of attack or to practice evasion. This helps to develop footwork. The pivot can be mastered rather quickly by the use of a cobra reflex bag.

Left Hook

The bag is one of the best platforms out there to develop the proven and lethal knockout move called the left hook. It is the most iconic knockout technique in boxing. The more powerful recoil will display that the technique is ready for the ring or the fight while a medium recoil or low recoil will indicate the technique needs to be improved before real application as the left hook is a power move and can easily throw an opponent to the ground upon impact.
